Tenga en cuenta que hay un albergue en Colombres, pero que en los meses de verano es reservado con frecuencia por grupos de estudiantes exploradores. El museo de la ciudad es excelente, si no para visitar al menos para caminar por los terrenos.

History

Los indios. El Museo de la Emigración de Colombres es una excelente colección en un edificio increíble. Captura la vida de los indios, gallegos, asturianos, cántabros y vascos que debido a su proximidad al mar fueron los más capaces de emigrar de España a las Américas (centro y sur) durante un período de gran pobreza a finales del siglo XIX. Muchos se fueron, pero solo unos pocos lo hicieron rico, y cuando regresaron convirtieron su fortuna en la construcción de grandes mansiones y en la obtención de títulos. Muchas de las casas aún permanecen y las de Asturias son los mejores ejemplos. A veces son de estilo colonial, y siempre eclécticos con palmeras como homenaje a sus vidas tropicales.

Los indianos también pagaron su fortuna financiando proyectos de obras públicas, y en Colombres los principales benefactores fueron los responsables de llevar el pueblo a un nivel o modernización visto solo en la capital asturiana.

Visited this albergue based on the comments below, and it was a personal highlight of the Camino del Norte for me. Matej is a fantastic host, and his albergue is relaxed and friendly. He also cooks a great dinner, and has a nice garden to relax and recover after a day of walking. I booked ahead via WhatsApp.

Agree with all the comments. One of the best albergue on the Norte. Matej makes you feel like you are visiting a friend at home. Really nice vegetarian communal meal. Was full the night I stayed, WhatsApp in advance to book your bed

Matej opens his home to 9 pilgrims. Very modern, clean and welcoming. Matej even washes and dries your clothes, cooks you dinner and showers you with love. It’s so special to stay here. Need to book by phone or email within 48hrs of your stay. Books out very quickly.

New albergue in Colombres you can find location with Google map!

No doubt best albergue since Irun! It’s Matej’s home and he opening up his home for pilgrims out of lot of love. He prepared delicious dinner, washed our clothes in washing machine and dryer, and we can just have a cup of tea and chill in his lovely living room or beautiful garden. You will stay in many public albergues on the way and probably gonna forget most of them years later, but an experience like this will be memorable for life.

(Also many people want to stay here, so make sure you first contact by phone to make a reservation!)

Only about 1.2 kms out of town on the main road but super great value - we got a double room for 40 euro. There is a wonderful restaurant about 400 metres away - all in all very relaxed and spotlessly clean
